1. Bud Vases
These simple yet unique bud vases are perfect for your dining table. Use one, a few, or all of them together to create a simple and soft centerpiece.
You can place them on a placemat, a table runner, or nothing at all. They are so cute you won’t need to do much.
Then add real or fake small flowers. A single Gerber daisy in each would be fabulous!
2. Dough Bowl
No matter your design aesthetic, a dough bowl is an amazing decor item for your dining room table.
A dough bowl’s irregular shape and rustic, yet elevate look, will quickly transform the look of your table. Plus you can easily swap out any decor items within the bowl, depending on the season or holiday.

Or just leave it empty on your table. Its simplicity will speak for itself.
3. Abstract Art
Using a unique abstract piece of art is a great decor piece for your dining table. It will bring focus directly to the artwork and will enhance the look of your room and table.
Plus, you won’t feel the need to add more decor elements to your table. Let the art speak for itself. (Think of your dining table as the pedestal in an art museum, with your unique piece of art as the focal piece.)
4. Rattan Bowl
Rattan is really on-trend right now. In fact, I saw an almost identical bowl at Crate and Barrel just this week.
Use the bowl as your kitchen table’s centerpiece and fill it with fruit, decor balls, or nothing at all. It’s pretty enough on its own. Plus it will add a little something to your table.
5. Wooden Tray
Consider using a wooden tray with a unique design on your kitchen table. It’s a perfect decor piece for everyday use.
Just place it in the middle of your table and add a vase or candleholders inside. Then easily move it to a counter when you need the space for dining.
Gotta love the handles!
6. Round Tray
A little different than your typical square or rectangular tray, a round tray has a step-up of elegance. There’s something about the circular shape that elevates the look on your table.
Add an attractive vase to the middle of the tray, or maybe a few candles of varying heights. Then change it up for every season. A round tray is so versitle. Plus you can use it on a round, square, or rectangular table, and it will always look amazing.
7. Vase
Using a vase as your everyday table decor is an obvious option. But what makes these vases unique is how simple, yet elevated they will look on your table.
The great thing about vases is that you don’t always need to have fresh flowers in them. Instead add a few unique floral branches like curly willow, cotton stems, or pampas grass. They will really make a statement in the center of your dining room table!
8. 2 Tier Tray
A 2 tier tray is a wonderful decor piece to use every day on your kitchen table. Think of it as an all-inclusive, compact design space.
The trays provide areas to add decorative elements that you can style based on the holiday or season. You can add as much (or little) as you want on the trays, and easily swap out design elements.

You can easily move the 2-tier tray to a countertop when you need more space on your table, and then move it back again to the center of your table as a fantastic centerpiece.
9. Fruit Bowl
One of the best everyday decor pieces you can use on your table is a fruit bowl. But not any-ol fruit bowl. No – you want one that looks amazing whether it is empty or filled with fruit.
A bowl that will look fantastic on your table for everyday use.
And these fruit bowls fit the bill. They’re artistic and functional. A total win-win. Great for everyday decor on your dining room table.
So, instead of leaving your kitchen or dining table bare, with nothing on it ~ add an amazing everyday decor piece on your table and make it the focal point of your room.
